Draftex Yellowtrace® is a premium yellow tracing paper roll favoured by architects, designers, and creatives for its unique tone and superior transparency. This lightweight 27gsm sketch paper features a warm soft yellow tint, making it ideal for preliminary drawings, design overlays, and concept development across architectural, interior, and landscape design.

Exceptionally smooth and highly transparent, Yellowtrace® allows up to four layers to be placed over a base drawing while still retaining clear visibility of the detail underneath. It performs beautifully with ink, charcoal, chalk, and felt-tip markers, and is a reliable favourite for on-site sketching and collaborative ideation.

Proudly made from pulp sourced from sustainably managed forests, Yellowtrace® is acid-free, fully recyclable, and carries full FSC certification – making it an eco-conscious choice for the design community.
